A BIG BUSINESS
Is What the Alliance Exchange
Is Going to DO.

Some readers seem to be under the
impression that the Alliance Ex-
change is here solely for the purpose
Of building factory and that the
work of the organization will not
fairly begin until the spindles COM
monce to hum. While the factory is
ali important feature of the order and
its benefits can hardly be vorestimat-
ed, still it is not the most
important by any means. Neither will
we bave to wait until it begins to wit
ness the power for good to be found
in the Alliance. The Exchange has
been established here and is now doing
an extensive business. This is State
headquarters of the organization and
the cotton from all portions of Texas
will come hereto be disposed of to the
best advantage by the committee.
Five hundred samples came in from
one county yesterday, and three thou
sand bales are awaiting the attention
Of the gentlemen who have charge of
this branch of the work. Ii is be-
lieved that the work of the commit
tee will be twice that expected when
their Offices were opened few days
ago. OF course grain and other
products will be handled just as the
cotton crop. The Alliance Exchange
is to be the hugest thing in this State.
There is no doubt about that.
The committee met to decide upon
a location of the factory, but the
HERALD man could not wait for their
decision and get to press on time.

VIII Decide Tc-Day.

The factory site of the Alliance will
be chosen to-day, and work will soon
begin OH the building. Some health
ful, pleasant place, with plenty of
room and good water, will be chosen
by the committee. All these condi-
tions being equal, of course the bonus
offered will become an important mat
ter. 1t is to be in Dallas, and this GER
tainty has quieted the pulse of the
general public. But the gentlemen
who prefer to have the institution To-
Gated upon their property will not be
fully satisfied until the site is selected.
Some of them have made liberal Of
fcrs.

Should BE Macadamized.

Now is the accepted time to mend
that little gap in the Lancaster pike.
II is about 200 yards long and begins
where the Lancaster road branches off
from the pike to Flanders Heights. 1t
is SO tough in wet weather that wag-
ons find 1t impossible to pull through
1t. Even in dry seasons the bumps
are enormous. Three wagons were
broken there last week.
